EVERYONE ELSE IS THROWING ROCKS.The last Harpy dies just before Entangle #3 does.All of this time, our DM has been flabbergasted- absolutely red faced and flustered- at the action.  "F$%^&ing Entangle!  That spell is broken!" *rant*rant*rant*To which the Druid's player huffily responded "Well, it was either that or Create Food & Water!  The Harpies could have had a meal and a bath!"LOLs abounded.</blockquote>
